Nomination Form HERITAGE WESTERN CAPE Provincial Heritage Authority of the Western Cape Private Bag X9067, Cape Town, 8001 Tel: 021 483 9672 Fax: 021 483 9842 Provincial Heritage Site Nomination Form This form precedes the submission of the ‘Nomination Document’ and is designed to assist with the grading of heritage resources in terms Section 3(3) of the National Heritage Resources Act, as part of the process of declaration as a Provincial Heritage Site (Section 27). Nominated heritage resources that are of special provincial significance will be graded as Grade 2 and considered for Provincial Heritage Site status. Proposed Provincial Heritage Site: RATELGAT, PORTIONS 1, 2 AND REMAINDER OF FARM LUIPERSKOP 211, VAN RHYNSDORP DISTRICT Brief Statement of Significance: (A full statement of significance is required as an attachment) Ratelgat, Farm Luiperskop 1697, Vanrhynsdorp District, has an inalienable link to the history of the Griqua nation and, by this association, is probably the most important site and strongest tangible symbol of this people who have, through their tenacity and never- say-die attitude, were the first frontiersmen, and resisted the forces of radical displacement, colonialism, apartheid and the many natural and other unnatural iniquities to maintain their identity and to forge their dynamic culture so that it survives until today. It is the site where Paramount Chief AAS le Fleur I, reverently known as the Kneg, lived until a few years before his death. It was the place where he would go on spiritual retreat in order to communicate with God and receive his many visions and revelations that would result in the many prophesies that have become an integral part of Griqua folk- lore. Many of these prophesies have, indeed, been fulfilled. These prophesies include: • There will be a great (civil) war in South Africa, which will start in Cape Town in the Parliament Buildings, where people will start fighting with chairs and tables, but later progress to deadly weapons. Become a member of the (Griqua) nation and strive towards nationhood, love and Godliness, the key Griqua symbols, and nothing will happen to you. Others, who do not know these values, will be caught up in the fight. • The building of the Sishen-Saldanha railway line was also prophesied by the Kneg, even as far as the location near Ratelgat and that of bridges and river crossings. • A new railway station would be built in Cape Town. (1970s?) • The Griqua will acquire the farm Jakkalskraal, outside Plettenberg Bay a few kilometers from Kranshoek. This farm would be the breadbasket of the Griqua nation in times of need. The farm was handed over to the Griqua by parastatal Lanok (Landelike Ontwikkelings Korporasie) in 2001. • The Kneg also predicted that his grandson, AAS le Fleur II (born in 1923), will become a future Paramount Chief. The latter was inaugurated in 1951, ten years after the death of the Kneg. • The Griqua would be represented in Geneva at the United Nations. This was fulfilled in 1995, with the GNC still participating in the UN Working Group on Indigenous Populations. • The government would attempt to move parliament to Pretoria, but would not succeed. This move was proposed during 1999-2000, after our second democratic election. • God shall transform this desert into a paradise. Ratelgat shall become the property of the Griqua without a cent being paid. Tomorrow, Ratelgat shall supply Cape Town with water. Bishops and government leaders shall come to Ratelgat to plead with God to deliver them from the hardships to come. God will come to Ratelgat to speak to the Griqua nation and bless them. It was the site at and from where he initiated countless self-help schemes for the economic upliftment of the Griqua nation, schemes which inspired the establishment of settlements and communities, most which still survive today. These include: • The lime processing industry and establishment of Beeswater • Agricultural and stock farming initiatives • Gypsum mining Proposed By: Ron Martin Heritage Consultancy Date Proposed: 19 November 2009 Contact Details: Cell: 078 533 9466 Name of Property: RATELGAT, FARM 1697 (FORMERLY PORTIONS 1, 2 AND REMAINDER OF FARM LUIPERSKOP 211), VAN RHYNSDORP DISTRICT Street Number and Street: Off N7, 35 km north of Van Rhynsdorp District: Van Rhynsdorp Magisterial District, Matzikama Municipal Area Cadastral Information Erf/ Farm Number: Farm Luiperskop 1697 (formerly 211/1, /2 & /3) Registration Division: Van Rhynsdorp Map Reference: 3118 DA Type of Resource Place X Structure Archaeological Site X Palaeontological Site Geological Feature Grave X Do moveable objects relating to the site form part of the Nomination?

  • A Risk Based Approach to Heritage Management in South Africa
    The International Archives of the Photogrammetry, Remote Sensing and Spatial Information Sciences, Volume XLII-2/W15, 2019 27th CIPA International Symposium “Documenting the past for a better future”, 1–5 September 2019, Ávila, Spain A RISK BASED APPROACH TO HERITAGE MANAGEMENT IN SOUTH AFRICA. C.Jackson a , L.Mofutsanyanaa,, N.Mlungwana a aSouth African Heritage Resources Agency, 111 Harrington Street Cape Town 8000, South Africa - [email protected], [email protected], [email protected] Commission II, WG II/8 KEY WORDS: Digital Inventories, Heritage Management, South Africa, SAHRIS, Risk Analysis ABSTRACT: The management of heritage resources within the South African context is governed by the National Heritage Resources Act, act 25 of 1999 (NHRA). This legislation calls for an integrated system of heritage management that allows for the good governance of heritage across the three tiers of government. The South African Heritage Resources Agency (SAHRA), as the national body responsible for heritage management, is mandated to compile and maintain an inventory of the national estate. The South African Heritage Resources Information System (SAHRIS) was designed to facilitate this mandate as well as provide a management platform through which the three-tiers of governance can be integrated. This vision of integrated management is however predicated on the implementation of the three-tier system of heritage management, a system which to date has not been fully implemented, with financial and human resource constraints being present at all levels. In the absence of the full implementation of this system and the limited resources available to heritage authorities, we argue that a risk based approach to heritage management will allow under resourced heritage authorities in South Africa to prioritise management actions and ensure mitigations are in place for at risk heritage resources.

  • Annexure D Annexure D
    ANNEXURE D ANNEXURE D ARCHAEOLOGIGAL CONSERVATION AND MANAGEMENT Guidelines for Property Owners and Managers Groot Constantia and Vergelegen Estates Revised May 2018 SAFEGUARDING ARCHAEOLOGY Archaeology is the study of human cultures by analysing the material remains (sites and artefacts) that people left behind, from the distant to recent past. Archaeological sites are non-renewable, very susceptible to disturbance and are finite in number. They are protected by law. Archaeological remains can be exposed during activities such as digging holes and trenching, or clearing ground, or when doing building maintenance and construction – or merely by chance discovery. Unlike the natural environment, a deposit that has been bulldozed away by mistake cannot be restored. The purpose of this document is to promote preservation of archaeological information while minimising disruption to projects or routine activities. It provides procedures to follow in the case of planned interventions and developments, or in the case of a chance archaeological find, to ensure that artefacts and sites are documented and protected. Archaeological sites are protected by the National Heritage Resources Act (Act 25 of 1999) (NHRA). According to the NHRA, all material remains resulting from human activity that have been abandoned for more than 100 years ago are the property of the State and may not be removed from their place of origin without a permit from the provincial heritage resources authority (Heritage Western Cape (HWC)) or from the South African Heritage Resources Agency (SAHRA). See HWC Regulations. In addition, the National Environmental Management Act (Act 107 of 1998) makes provision for assessment of impacts that activities such as large developments will have on archaeological heritage.

  • The Ecology of Large Herbivores Native to the Coastal Lowlands of the Fynbos Biome in the Western Cape, South Africa
    The ecology of large herbivores native to the coastal lowlands of the Fynbos Biome in the Western Cape, South Africa by Frans Gustav Theodor Radloff Dissertation presented for the degree of Doctor of Science (Botany) at Stellenbosh University Promoter: Prof. L. Mucina Co-Promoter: Prof. W. J. Bond December 2008 DECLARATION By submitting this dissertation electronically, I declare that the entirety of the work contained therein is my own, original work, that I am the owner of the copyright thereof (unless to the extent explicitly otherwise stated) and that I have not previously in its entirety or in part submitted it for obtaining any qualification. Date: 24 November 2008 Copyright © 2008 Stellenbosch University All rights reserved ii ABSTRACT The south-western Cape is a unique region of southern Africa with regards to generally low soil nutrient status, winter rainfall and unusually species-rich temperate vegetation. This region supported a diverse large herbivore (> 20 kg) assemblage at the time of permanent European settlement (1652). The lowlands to the west and east of the Kogelberg supported populations of African elephant, black rhino, hippopotamus, eland, Cape mountain and plain zebra, ostrich, red hartebeest, and grey rhebuck. The eastern lowlands also supported three additional ruminant grazer species - the African buffalo, bontebok, and blue antelope. The fate of these herbivores changed rapidly after European settlement. Today the few remaining species are restricted to a few reserves scattered across the lowlands. This is, however, changing with a rapid growth in the wildlife industry that is accompanied by the reintroduction of wild animals into endangered and fragmented lowland areas.
